Tianjin Seagull Watch Group (Chinese: 天津海鸥) is a watchmaking company located in Tianjin, China. Founded in 1955, it is the world's largest manufacturer of mechanical watch movements, producing one quarter of total global production by volume.
What is BPH
Many high-end watches today already beat at a relatively quick frequency of 28,800 beats per hour (about 8 ticks a second), while other common frequencies in more affordable watches are 21,600 bph (six beats per second) and 18,000 bph (five beats per second). But it takes 36,000 bph (10 beats per second) to have the “smooth action” of a high-beat watch. Because watches running at this frequency are most subject to strain on their internal workings, they require more durable parts and better lubricants to deal with the added friction.
As such, high-beat movements are not very common these days. New ones today cost well into four- and five-figure territory; there was much more experimentation with 36,000 bph watches in the ‘60s and ‘70s, so many vintage examples can be found below $1,000. In either case, you get a unique piece, one with irrefutably mesmerizing seconds hand and rarity to boot.
LEATHER STRAP & engraved folding clasp
Shell cordovan – Shinki – Japan
100% handmade. Comes logo milled polished folding clasp. (Set on black dial)
Shinki Hikaku Shell Cordovan leather comes from Kobe, Japan. Shinki has been in business since 1951 and are one of the few remaining tanneries producing this special article. They are well known for their attention to detail, beautiful hides and rich colours. Shinki shell has its subtle differences than the other tanneries, it has a beautiful more polished luster and are less waxy feeling. These unique traits lend itself to really clean small leather goods.
Shell cordovan (or cordovan) is a rare, world-famous leather made of a specific layer of hide – “cordovan”. The cordovan layer exists only in equine hides and has its maximum thickness on the rump area. One horse hide yields only two small oval pieces of cordovan – two shells. Using the centuries-old method of pure vegetable tannage and hand finishing, the tanning process takes a full six months to complete. The outcome is one of the world’s finest leathers and one that is highly coveted for its unmatched durability and wonderful patina. The strap is a padded slightly thicker version as it’s a sizeable watch case.
